Customer Reviews:

A Wonderful Album!!!.......2006-05-02

I was doing some looking for some other Gerry Mulligan CD's, happened back across this one, and realized there is a serious lack of reviews. What a shame. This is a wonderful album, with every tune being a winner. Mulligan sounds incredible on this, as does Duboc. I had not heard her before hearing her on this CD, but she has a wonderful voice. Bordado (Embroidered) - #6 - is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Not just Mulligan tunes, but anything. It really does give you goosebumps.

So - give this one a try and you certainly won't be disappointed.

Wonderful collaboration w/Brazilian singer Jane Duboc.......1999-11-19

I originally purchased this CD in 1994 at a garage sale. Paraiso remains one of my all time favorites to this day. In fact, I have bought several copies as gifts for friends. The music that Mulligan and this immensely talented group of (mostly) Brazilian musicians presented works for me on several different levels. If listening critically, it is a joy to hear Mulligan seemingly float through this material while maintaining the integrity and authenticity of a rather delicate musical genre. At a more casual level, I have attempted to sneak this in as background music while entertaining guests, but this collection of bossas, sambas and the like, refuses to be ignored. Invariably it is commented upon, the volume on my system is increased and conversation stops dead as Paraiso takes center stage. Not only have I shared this CD with friends that are not out and out `jazzers', I have made it a point to expose my core group of friends in the music business to Paraiso. It is an example of an album on which everything was done right, and a stellar example of Brazilian jazz. Without exception the arrangements are rhythmically and melodically interesting. Jane Duboc's intonation is dead on and her tone, breathtaking. Sung in her native Portuguese, these tunes take on a seriously sensual timbre. Technically, the recording was made when Telarc was still considered an audiophile label. The music has a superb, spacious soundstage making very good use of sonic imaging. My preference to have had Mulligan's horn recorded a bit dryer would be my only criticism here. Highly recommended.

A delight!.......1999-08-24

This album is a delight. Do not be put off if you do not know Jane Duboc - she is a very pleasant singer. Mulligan complements her very well and, of course, provides most of the charts. It is music to share with your friends who may not be out and out jazzers.

uma dupla fascinante.......1999-07-06

Considero um dos melhores trabalhos da cantora Jane Duboc com o genial Gerry Mulligan, vale a pena
